A Hazard of New Fortunes V4 is a novel by the American author William Dean Howells. It is the fourth volume of a four-volume series that follows the lives of several characters in late 19th century New York City. The novel explores themes of social class, the struggles of the working class, and the corruption of the upper class. The central character, Basil March, is a journalist who becomes involved with a group of socialists and labor activists. He also becomes romantically involved with a wealthy woman named Isabel, who is married to a corrupt businessman. The novel follows their struggles as they navigate their personal and professional lives in a rapidly changing city. Howells' writing style is characterized by his realism and his ability to capture the nuances of everyday life. A Hazard of New Fortunes V4 is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a glimpse into the social and political climate of the late 19th century.First and last, the Marches did a good deal of travel on the Elevated roads, which, he said, gave you such glimpses of material aspects in the city as some violent invasion of others' lives might afford in human nature. Once, when the impulse of adventure was very strong in them, they went quite the length of the West Side lines, and saw the city pushing its way by irregular advances into the country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
